The beginning of one of the most epic 11s you will ever see, starts here

Just two days ago, we showed you what we called “the longest 11s you will ever see caught on film.” The car in question was a Swedish-built BMW E34 M5 with a lunatic 913whp. It burned rubber for a solid 20 seconds over an estimated 1/4-mile period, which is pretty good going, you’ll agree.

It seems, however – thanks to hoon-hungry Facebook fan Lars – that we may have misinformed you. It appears that there’s a crazy Supra drag racer that could have the BMW beaten in the epic street-burnout stakes…

20 seconds later and this Supra is still burning rubber…

Much like the M5, the modified Supra – whose tuned 2JZ engine we’re estimating has well in excess of 900bhp – also burns rubber for a good 20 seconds, all in the name of crucifying a pair of drag tyres. Question is, do you think this crazy street burnout covered a longer distance than the M5? Judge for yourselves below.

BMW has released details of its sexy new 4-series, which is like a two-door 3-series, but, err, not. If you’re allergic to pointless PR waffle, fear not – there’s more here than meets the eye.

The 4-series is a lot different to the old 3-series Coupe. In the past, the Coupe version of BMW’s compact repmobile was simply a lightly breathed-on version of the same car, but check these figures out…

The new car is 26mm longer than the old Coupe and comes with a 50mm longer wheelbase too, so the wheels have been pushed further into the corners. That’s good for stability and handling. The track – the distance between the centres of the left and right wheels – has been widened by 45mm at the front and 81mm at the back, so it also has a much bigger footprint on the road. And that wider rear end should make it a feisty little hooner, a little like the 997-generation Porsche 911. We definitely like that.

It’s 16mm lower than the 3-series Coupe, and while BMW will probably bang on about aerodynamics and efficiency, we think that its long, low, wide shape looks the danglies. All of these changes will chisel just over £3000 more out of your wallet than an equivalent 3-series saloon.

As for engines the 4-series will use the turbocharged petrols and diesels you already know and either love or hate. Expect the range to run from 2.0-litre units with around 180bhp to the 300bhp+ turbo six-pots. You can also bet your mother’s pension on there being a 440bhp M4 version further down the line, too.

It says a lot, though, that the range-topper is a diesel. The 435d – which comes with BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system – is the most powerful 4-series with 309bhp, but we also know the engine is a heavy old beast so it’s almost like BMW is abandoning the whole handling thing for the sake of CO2 emissions. Sorry, but the day we see a diesel as one of the main cars in a Fast & Furious franchise film, we might take it seriously.

The car launches in October, with all the engines ultimately available by November. The least you’ll pay for one is £31,575 (for the 420d), but if you’re hankering after a top model you’d better be prepared to cough up more than £40,000 for the 435i.

Drake has been spotted back in his hometown of Toronto taking delivery of this Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir recently. The rapper picked up the ultra rare motor, of which only 15 were built, to add to his already impressive fleet of cars.

Joining his Bentley Continental Supersports, Range Rover and a Maybach, the Bug is in good company. It features stunning black paint reminiscent of the Bugatti Atlantique 57S, as well as a deep orange interior. We reckon this is one of the classiest Veyrons around, avoiding the sometimes garish two-tone colours schemes.

As if you weren’t already jealous enough, it didn’t cost Drake a penny. Apparently fellow rapper Birdman handed him the keys…
